This square photograph features the famous Matterhorn. Probably the most famous mountain in the world. At over 4,000 meters, the summit rises above the Zermatt valley in the Valais Alps, Switzerland. Its eastern ridge cuts through the landscape, contrasting its eastern face, intensely lit by winter light, with its northern face, destined to remain in shadow until summer arrives. It was along this ridge that the first access route to the Matterhorn was opened in 1865 at summit .

That day, the weather was mixed and playful. I didn't know whether or not I'd manage to catch a glimpse of the top summit. But I gave it a shot. And as the sun's first rays fell on the mountain, the clouds suddenly cleared, revealing the Matterhorn as an arrow pointing skywards. The clouds still masking the mountain's north face lend an incredible presence to this pyramid, a sculpture of rock that erosion and glaciers have gradually forged.

This is the beauty of the work: nature's interpretation of the Matterhorn. Far more than a flat, objective presentation of the Matterhorn's constituent elements summit, we are invited to discover what lies deep within. Its soul in broad daylight. We can only imagine what it conceals from our gaze. And from the invisible come emotions. The mountain's personality is revealed before our eyes, as we marvel at its beauty.
